Department for Education: seeking views on improving support, quality and oversight for children and young people who are educated outside of school.

We are seeking views on how to strengthen arrangements for children:

  • and young people receiving special educational provision through an education otherwise than at school (EOTAS) arrangement
  • not attending school and receiving alternative provision because of health reasons
  • receiving alternative provision in accredited online education providers

We want to understand how:

  • support can be improved
  • responsibilities should be clarified
  • provision can be better quality-assured

We are also seeking views on how arrangements can support improved outcomes. This includes progression and, where appropriate, reintegration.

Ahead of statutory changes, we are seeking views on temporary arrangements to allow local authorities to increase the funding mainstream schools receive to support pupils with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND).

We are consulting on our proposed:

  • approach for local authorities to deliver additional funding to mainstream schools
  • arrangements for the 2027 to 2028 financial year
